The use of α-cationic phosphonites derived from TADDOL as ancillary ligands has allowed a highly regio- and enantioselective synthesis of substituted [6]­carbohelicenes by sequential Au-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation of diynes. Key for these results is the modular structure of these new ligands, and the enhanced reactivity that they impart to Au­(I)-centers after coordination.
